I am struggling with my lesson. I have no professor to help me wade through. It's learning how to begin with Git. (nord.pub)

https://www.theodinproject.com/lessons/foundations-git-basics this is the lesson that i am following. I completed the Create the Repository section successfully. I also completed the Use the Git Workflow section successfully. It's the Modify a File or two where I am facing all the difficulties.

Can someone please show me the way how to do it ?

It helps you learn what you WANT to do. Later you can learn HOW to do it in command line if you want to.

You can get by just fine using gui tools for most stuff, only rarely needing raw git commands (when you would probably be checking the docs anyway)

I don't understand how people check diffs without a GUI/IDE tbh.
